Hey all,
I really enjoy my Sprint Hero, but the one thing that is driving me CRAZY is that since there is no proximity sensor on the phone, when I hold the phone to my head on calls or to listen to visual voicemails, I tend to press all kinds of buttons. Voicemails jump around, I pull down the notification shade, and I've even hung up on people.

Are there any apps out there that allow me to adjust the time lag before the screen goes black on a phone call, while listening to visual voicemails, etc? Or something that might mimic a proximity sensor? Thanks...

Yup, got it and installed it. Unfortunately it keeps the trackball and other buttons lit, and keeps the screen on...just prevents touching the screen. Disabled it because it gets really hot and wastes battery that way. I just need to be careful in the first 30 seconds into a call until the screen darkens.
